THz meta-materials or rather fundament building blocks thereof can be useful, if modified slightly, in a completely different area of research, namely THz science. Recent experiments conducted by Seo and coworkers [1], using a gold film with a single nano-slit, showed that it is possible to significantly enhance the THz field strength inside the gap region. Starting from this investigation we designed and tested a range of nano-structure components. They were built to further enhance the THz field strengths and to allow previously impossible nonlinear THz experiments. In this talk the concept of a nano- antenna and its fabrication process will be introduced and discussed. Moreover, the field enhancement in arrays of nano- slits, split ring resonators, and other sub-wavelength antennas will be shown. 3D electromagnetic simulations as well as sophisticated near-field measurements will be also presented. |
